From Booklist:

Gr. 2-4, younger for reading aloud. Carrie wants to earn money to buy her mother a Christmas present and decides snow shoveling is just the ticket. When she goes inside to warm up, she finds that her neighbors are enjoying soup. She samples Fendra Abuela's chuleton, the Shinzawas' miso shiru, and Mrs. Max's beet-and-cabbage soup; the soup warms body and soul, and ultimately inspires a unique gift idea for Carrie's mother. Dooley returns to the multicultural neighborhood of Everybody Bakes Bread (1996) in another heartfelt celebration of diversity, with recipes at book's end. Cheerful art, in muted, jewel-tone colors, contrasts snowy neighborhood overviews with cozy home interiors, and Dooley's lively, descriptive prose captures each character's voice. Despite the picture-book format, the small type, dense prose, and advanced vocabulary are better suited to older children than young listeners; however, the message about sharing food, culture, and gifts from the heart can speak to all.
